Gonzo620 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 So yesterday I hosted the November meeting. During the meeting I noticed something very exciting. One of my rock nems was giving birth! Once the majority of the members left I started collecting them. Anyone else in the club have success with breeding these guys? They’re all about 1/8” in size and there’s quite a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 I had this happen 10+ years ago when i first entered the hobby. At the time not many people had heard of flower rock anemone and I was told they were a pest anemone. So i killed them.....stupid mistake!!!!

RajilNaja Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Still waiting for this to happen in our rock flower garden. No luck so far. Pretty sweet, good luck raising them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo620 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 @RajilNaja Thanks buddy I’m going to need it. Best of luck with your garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBugmaster Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Awesome, congrats! I just recently set up a rock flower tank in hopes of breeding them...so time will tell. I have bought 9 now, but most are pretty small and they do have to mature before they start breeding. And you do have to have male and females from my understanding. So out of the 9 I have I think odds will be better of having male and females. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBugmaster Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 I would be interested in buying some if you are selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you have the better the chances of acquiring males and females. I will be selling some for sure. Just want them to get some size first. Right now there the size of a piece of Nerds candy.

Gonzo620 Posted December 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Update on these guys. All is well and they have doubled in size! Found a few more shortly after my first post. A week ago had a couple die do to some kind of slime/bacteria that was covering the two anemone. I think it was caused by some leftover food. With a new total of 20 babies! I hope to not have anymore loses. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReefNewby82 Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Dang they have definitely grown some. Are there a couple of small blue ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo620 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 @ReefNewby82 No blue ones. I can confirm that most are very unique. I had only one that looks like the mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo620 Posted February 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hi all! Update on these guys is long overdue. They’re steadily growing. I have noticed there’s a size difference in all of the nems not sure why. Maybe it’s they all grow at their own rates, or maybe it’s a sign of sex. Not sure but I will be documenting the stand outs. The bigger ones are around 3/8” round. The colors on these guys are really starting to show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefNewby82 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Those are really cool! Any of them eith mainly blue or all blue? Doesn't appear so but would snag one for the colts tank if so 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo620 Posted February 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 No blue ones. @ReefNewby82 and I definitely wouldn’t subject the poor nem to a colts themed home. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo620 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Little over due update! These guys are getting big and beautiful! Biggest one is now over 3/4” when fully open. Keep your eyes out probably in about a couple of months I’ll be putting these for sale. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
